ABB India sets up a smart center for electrician training

ABB India announced the establishment of a smart center for electrician training in Faridabad, Haryana. This initiative was launched in partnership with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) in the presence of Sujeet Gusain, Location Industrial Relation Manager, Faridabad, ABB India, Saroj Apato, Vice-President, ESSCI, Rajeev Singh, AGM and Dr. Abhilasha Gaur, CEO, ESSCI, along with other representatives from ESSCI, and ABB India.

The programme aims to equip the youth with the necessary skills to thrive in the competitive job market and create ample employment opportunities in line with the National Education Policy, 2020. The electrician training initiative will involve an end-to-end program management solution to screen and select the right candidates, train them, and provide job opportunities locally. The chosen candidates will receive 540+ hours of training, equivalent to 90 days at the center. ESSCI will collaborate with industry partners to facilitate job placements for trained individuals, bridging the gap between skill acquisition and employment.

Commenting on the development, Sanjeev Arora, President, Motion Business, ABB India said, ?This initiative is a significant step towards addressing the skill gap in the electronics sector. By focusing on both upskilling the existing workforce and training the youth, we aim to create a sustainable pipeline of skilled professionals ready to meet the demands of the industry.?

"We are thrilled to partner with ABB India on this initiative. By leveraging our expertise in skilling, we aim to empower the youth and provide them with the necessary skills to succeed in the competitive job market," said Dr. Abhilasha Gaur, the CEO of ESSCI.

The company runs other up-skilling programs and engages with the youth to make them employable. In Faridabad, ABB India collaborated with Udayan Care to run a Community Information Technology and Skill Center. The center aims to support girls from economically disadvantaged families in becoming self-reliant by undertaking IT and vocational training. The Company had also signed an MoU to refurbish the Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI) located in the Peenya Industrial Area, one of the oldest industrial areas in Bengaluru, under its CSR initiatives.
